I eventually collected my Superb in beige leather today(19 weeks to the day from ordering). The dealer told me that Skoda have told them of a new supply issue. The beige leather cars have a two tone dash (black on top and beige below to match the car trim) and Skoda are having trouble sourcing the beige half of the dash! You could not make this up and I actually thought he was taking the proverbial.

They are actually Pegasus 17'' wheels. I ordered a standard Style (one below the L&K -not sure what the equivalent is in the UK) and the only option I went for is a tow bar (done very cleverly by the factory). I just looked up the Skoda Ireland website and these wheels are no longer available. The Pegasus 18'' are an option for the Style.

My beige leather Superb arrived at the dealers yesterday (18 weeks later). All is forgiven Skoda :clap: From talking to the dealer it looks its back to the old Ford adage -you can have any leather seat colour so long as its black. Now there is a back log awaiting PDI at the dealer but at least I got to sit in it.

I ordered my Superb Style with beige leather seats (non ventilated) on Oct 15th. Before I left the showroom the build date had moved from Week 48 to Week 50 because there was production delay with the standard Stratos wheels. Early January came news that the production date was moved to Week 4 (no explanation at the time but it has to be the beige leather). I have since been told that the car was manufactured and delivered to Ireland last week (can I actually believe them). If I get it this week that will be 18 weeks but probably won't see it until next week. My new Skoda has become the standing joke in work as the car park filled up with new VW's, Ford's etc. all ordered and delivered in a fraction of time compared to mine. This is my first and probably last Skoda after this experience.
